Patent EP-1266202-A4 (EP)
Inventor: YANG QINGHONG
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-03-12
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des méthodes permettant de détecter la présence ou l'absence d'une différence entre deux séquences d'acides nucléiques apparentées. Lesdites méthodes consistent à mettre en contact un acide nucléique cible et un acide nucléique de référence dans des conditions où ils peuvent former un complexe d'acide nucléique à quatre branches possédant une structure susceptible de migrations. Dans ces conditions de contact, si l'acide nucléique de référence et l'acide nucléique cible sont identiques, la migration entre les branches peut s'effectuer jusqu'à son terme et résulter en un échange de brins complet. Si l'acide nucléique de référence et l'acide nucléique cible sont différents, la migration entre les branches n'arrive pas à son terme, ce qui entraîne la création d'un complexe à quatre branches stable. Pour identifier la présence d'une différence entre les acides nucléiques, on utilise ledit complexe à quatre branches stable. Ledit complexe à quatre branches stable peut également être détecté à l'aide de molécules se liant spécifiquement à ces complexes, soit par électrophorèse sur gel soit par isolement spécifique du complexe à quatre branches stable.

Le serveur de compte détermine si le compte du consommateur est suffisant pour couvrir le montant de la transaction, puis, soit il déduit le montant de la transaction du compte du consommateur et complète la transaction, soit refuse la transaction si le compte du consommateur est insuffisant pour couvrir le montant de la transaction du serveur DPCS (5).
Patent EP-1303449-A4 (EP)
Title: Dual degas/cool loadlock cluster tool
Inventor: CLARKE ANDREW
IPC: H01L21/677
Filed: 2001-07-02
Abstract: A dual wafer position loadlock chamber for a cluster tool includes a block which defines the chamber, a platen that projects into the chamber, a heat lamp assembly that radiates into the loadlock chamber and a plurality of rails for positioning a wafer within the chamber. The platen selectively cools the wafer and includes a bell portion located within the loadlock chamber. The heat lamp assembly is mounted to the block across the chamber from the bell portion. The rails extend into the loadlock chamber around the bell portion, and an upper flange and lower flange extend perpendicularly from each rail. During cooling operations, the wafer is placed on the upper flanges, which positions the wafer immediately proximate the bell portion for cooling the wafer. During degassing operations, the wafer is placed on the lower flanges and the heat lamp assembly illuminates and establishes a focal plane of uniform radiation intensity which is co-planar with the wafer. In this manner, the loadlock chamber allows both wafer degassing and wafer cooling functions to be performed within the loadlock chamber, which eliminates the need for a dedicated degassing chamber and cooling chamber in the cluster tool.

Title: Automobile accelerator and brake pedal device
Inventor: NARUSE MASUYUKI
IPC: B60K26/02
Filed: 2002-05-17
Abstract: An automobile accelerator and brake pedal device, which is a brake pedal device comprising a vertically operable brake pedal having an auxiliary pad connected thereto, a transversely operable accelerator pad disposed in the auxiliary pad, and acceleration mechanism driven by the accelerator pad, wherein the accelerator pad is in the form of a plate-like member and chevroned with the intermediate portion bulging outward, the acceleration mechanism being operated by the slope surface of the chevron. Even if the brake pedal (1) is stepped on with the accelerator in its active position, this stepping-on action necessarily causes the accelerator pad (9) to move forward together with the auxiliary pad (3), thereby immediately bringing the accelerator lever (10) back to its original inactive position without any time delay involved as when a different pedal is stepped on, putting off the accelerator, and enabling the brake function to act normally. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-1651027-A4 (EP)
Title: Deflection sensing system
Inventor: EASLEY JAMES B
IPC: G08B13/12
Filed: 2004-05-05
Abstract: The system incorporates wire deflection, taut wire detection for perimeter security applications. Generally, the system of the invention provides intrusion detection by an internal mechanism. The internal mechanism can detect wire deflection in any direction. In turn, given a sufficient amount of wire deflection, a security system is signaled. However, the force required to sufficiently deflect the wires is high enough so as to minimize nuisance alarms. The internal mechanism is generally held within a structure so that it is protected from tampering. As such, the internal mechanism is also kept separate from the wire array so that it is protected from attempts by an intruder to isolate the wire array.

Title: Snapshots of file systems in data storage systems
Inventor: KAPOOR VIKRAM
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2004-07-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems of snapshot management of a file system in a data storage system. To represent the snapshots, the invention maintains pointers to the root block pointer of each snapshot. When the active file system is modified, this invention avoids overwriting any blocks used by previous snapshots by allocating new blocks for the modified blocks. When the invention needs to put an established block in a new location, it must update a parent block to point to the new location. The update to the parent block may then require allocating a new block for the new parent block and so forth. Parts of the file system not modified since a snapshot remain in place. The amount of space required to represent snapshots scales with the fraction of the file system that users modify. To maintain snapshot integrity, this invention keeps track of the first and last snapshots that use each block in space map blocks spread throughout the file system data space. When users delete snapshots, this invention may use a background process to find blocks no longer used by any snapshot and makes them available for future use.
